Just for the record: 282.6
Knowing that not eating or drinking before my procedure would result in an artificially low weight, I decided to use New Year’s Eve instead of New Year’s Day to answer for my end-of-year goal to weigh under 289.
I’m pleased to announce that my weight on Wednesday morning was 282.6 pounds. My next goal was to weigh under 275 by Valentine’s, but I have not figured out exactly how that will work when it comes to my 2009 goals. More to follow once I can sit down with a calculator and a spreadsheet.

I have always thought that 10 pounds at a time is a safer goal than projecting 10 pounds times X weeks (over a long period of time).
I watched season 3 of the Biggest Loser yesterday (marathon) and Bob kept saying to Erik – you do better if you keep your head down and just keep going – when you look at how far you have to go – it messes with your mind – just keep your head down and look at the road just in front of you so you don’t trip, and keep going.
Now I realize that Erik had to peek ahead every once in a while to be sure that he wasn’t getting ready to run off a cliff, but you get the general idea.

Was this procedure nicely UNeventful???
I thought about you and wondered how it went and hoped you got to go home again . . .
